Slavic signs of amulets. Slavic symbols and their meaning

According to our ancestors, Slavic symbols and amulets helped to influence the world around us and transform it. Some of them helped to defeat the dark forces, others helped to cross the line separating Life and Death, and even end up in Prav (the world of the gods) or Navi (the afterlife abode of souls).

All the symbols that have come down to us from the ancient Slavs can be classified according to their meaning, highlighting several large groups:

Solar signs

These symbols are ruled by the Sun itself. They carry its life-giving energy, and also give the protection of its gods. These include Khors, Svaro and Dazhdbog. Their habitat is an ideal world. Edit. It is not for nothing that the amulets associated with them have an exclusively positive meaning. They help to acquire spiritual and material wealth, become wiser and stronger. One of the most popular solar Slavic symbols is Kolovrat. This is a swastika image, but it has an exclusively positive meaning: “su/swa” is translated as “connection with good.” It denotes forward movement, development (if rotated to the right). Such amulets are recommended to be worn by men who dream of achieving a lot in life. A Kolovrat rotating to the left demonstrates the passivity of the owner and his gradual movement towards death.

One of the most famous natural signs is the Fern Flower. According to legend, the person who plucks it on the night of Ivan Kupala will become the owner of countless treasures. The forest was indicated by a symbolic image of trees. Moreover, if they looked upward, then they indicated a person’s desire for God, if downward, then they were involved in worldly life. Slavic symbols also had meanings associated with animals. One of the popular ones was the image of a bird, which was considered a magical creature. They were messengers of the world of the Gods. Raven or Eagle meant Perun, and Falcon meant Volkh.

Fiery

Slavic fire symbols have a double meaning. Firstly, they mean sacrifice (it was with the help of fire that our ancestors made sacrifices to the gods). And secondly, there is heavenly fire from the blacksmith Svarog, which gives a person creative strength and a desire for development. Slavic symbolism in the form of fire amulets is quite complex artistically. The signs usually consist of 4 parts and, symbolizing escaping flames. Amulets with these symbols are suitable for creative people, as well as those who seek to gain the missing strength and energy.

Airborne.

To denote air and wind, the Slavs used the image of an arrow. If there were two of them, then they denoted the top and bottom, the lower and upper parts of the atmosphere. Popular symbolism is four crossed arrows. They simultaneously designate parts of the world, time of year and day. For example, north is winter, south is summer, east is day, and west is night. The values ​​of progress (east, north) and regression (west, south) are added to them. Often the symbol was circled, emphasizing the unity of its component parts.

By correctly using Slavic symbols in modern life, you can attract success and health into it, as well as protect yourself and loved ones from enemies and diseases.

Many hundreds of years ago, people living on earth honored and respected every plant, animal and all living things in general. They could talk and understand all living beings. For the ancient Slavs, the tree not only breathed, but also spoke, for Rod, the supreme god, often took the form of a plant. But besides this, divine power transmitted through branches that became amulets.

By creating amulets and talismans, the Slavs understood that the deity bestowed their grace on them and prolonged their lives. Slavic wooden or plant amulets could protect against evil spirits. But it is better to study all the meanings and divisions of amulets for men or Slavic amulets for women from their photos. This way you can see every detail. This will be useful for making your own talisman. Since each curl will attract either good luck, or if absent, it will bring trouble for the owner.

Meanings of amulets

Old Slavic amulets are not just metal plaques or branches. This is an opportunity to stand under the protection of deities. Their powers include protection from evil and unkind people, from illness and from death. But this is not the entire list of possibilities. Vedic symbols on Slavic amulets carry a secret meaning. And their meaning changes depending on the introduction of new elements into them.

One dash or new symbols in the image, and the amulets take on a different meaning, their interpretation and meaning changes radically. Although the descriptions will be similar.

Do not forget that the Slavic gods were of different sexes. This means that talismans exist for women and men. Putting a male sign on a girl meant taking on the role of head of the family, getting food, and keeping an eye on everyone. At the same time, they were not completely deprived of their femininity. The woman looked like a female person in appearance, but her character and habits were masculine. Therefore, this cannot be allowed. Only Rod and his wife Lada could bestow generosity and prosperity to everyone without exception.

For men and their Slavic amulets, an important role was played not only by the description and purpose, but also by what the talisman was made of. If you want to be resistant to all the problems that fate has in store for you, then definitely a stone or a mineral. Wooden - softness and development of intellectual abilities or craft. What the metal symbolized was skills in the art of war, hunting, management.

Russians are similar to Varangian symbols. Because both cultures have similar interests and concerns. But the Vikings preferred metal products more. This is due to their warlike nature. Even the gods had several worlds, in one of them there lived good deities responsible for intellect and reason, in the second world - warlike ones. There were larger number. The third world is monsters who want to win and take over the whole world and humanity. Therefore, most of the Varangians were warriors, but not artisans.

In the Russian version, the symbols on the amulets indicated more that it was necessary to think, to protect oneself from magical influences, and to know ways to protect oneself from harm. And all their meanings boiled down to the fact that family, land and native land need protection and care. There was a certain number of amulets that protected only artisans:

• plowmen and grain growers;
• hunters;
• blacksmiths;
• midwives and so on.

Not everyone could wear such signs and types of amulets. Only the sorceress, or as the village caretakers used to call them, pointed out who would be the next plowman. There were also Magi - special people who lived away from everyone. People came to them for advice and to find their talisman, for treatment and removal of damage. The Magi were able to communicate with all the gods, but only Rod or one of his sons gave them the gift. They had disciples to whom they handed over the staff of power over the world. The prince and all the people of Kievan Rus listened to their opinion.

Everyone knew the meaning of their talismans and amulets - strength, power, protection of all living things, the ability to perform magical actions.

Types of Slavic amulets

The amulets of the Slavs had divisions, types and even subtypes. Sometimes they were allowed to be combined, but most of them were used in urgent need. So today we know about:

• protective (from evil, sorcerer, black eye and others);
• family;
• children's;
• only for women;
• men's;
• for procreation and health;
• magical (meaning those who give knowledge in magic)

amulets and amulets, talismans. To this we add the selected material for the product. The next point is what need arose for this or that symbol. The more dangers, the stronger the protection chosen.

There are universal ancient Slavic amulets that provide the granting of all points except magical abilities and secret knowledge.

Genus

The deity who created all life in the universe is Rod. He provides strength and protection to everyone without exception. Pagan pictures and emblems, amulets and talismans belonging to the supreme being were applied everywhere:

• on dishes and clothes;
• on the walls of houses and wooden plaques;
• were carved on metal pendants (the most suitable option is silver), but they were made for men. For women, embroidery was enough.

Alatyr

Not all ancient Slavic amulets or amulets are capable of protecting against any misfortune and magical influence. Become a kind of reflector. treat them as such. This sign was also applied to everything, like the symbol of the Family. In addition, Alatyr healed a person. Not only from physical illness, but also mental illness. At the same time, the amulet removed laziness and apathy, bestowed aspirations and hope, personal and family happiness. Do you want to achieve your cherished goal, make your dream come true? Then choose this sign for yourself. A shield from the evil eye and damage, from troubles and dashing people will help you recover from any blow and become strong physically and spiritually. In addition to the amulet, there is also a rune of the same name. It also symbolizes strength in everything: relationships, love, work.

Molvinets

Third in terms of uniqueness and versatility is . Among the Old Believers, such Old Believer symbols-amulets could be applied from wood even to a baby in the form of embroidery on a bed sheet. Molvinets protects against damage, evil, the evil eye and dark sorcerers. It will repel verbal and magical attacks and will not allow you to cripple. It could be combined with any other amulet. Another thing that can be added in favor of the amulet is that by putting the sign on a child or teenager, the parent will ensure the child’s development of mental and physical abilities. If you have problems with sleep, speech or health, then soon after you get dressed, changes in your appearance will become noticeable. better side. What types of Slavic amulets are suitable for everyone? Of course, family ones. Moreover, after the collapse of Kievan Rus, amulets and their meanings were preserved in all Slavic peoples. And everyone considers them theirs.

For example, Belarusian amulets are identical to Russian ones, but are used more as ornaments on clothes. Metal or wooden ones have been preserved in Russia.

Who should wear it

Slavic amulets were previously a necessity for our ancestors. Without them, no rituals, celebrations or feasts could be performed. The presence of a sacred image indicated that the owner respects and appreciates the protection of natural forces and deities. Literally about five or six years ago, respect for the traditions of our people began to return. But since they have lost a significant part of the knowledge connecting the two worlds: Kievan Rus and the modern Slavs, few people know the meaning of the symbols and the purpose of the talismans. This is where difficulties arise with the choice and ability to wear. If a fenichka amulet or an Old Slavic cross (meaning protection of eight gods) can be worn by everyone and combined with all other amulets, then the Old Slavic symbolism of amulets intended for warriors or hunters does not make sense for a woman or a child. They will not help and will not give them any care. Therefore, you need to know how to choose a Slavic amulet for yourself:

If you are not ready for such changes (to accept even partially the faith of your ancestors), then it’s better not to start. Why arrange a test for those who are capable of optimally punishing and bestowing all the benefits (Slavic deities).

The Slavic amulet intended for the fair sex is very different in its purpose. Ancestors respected and valued women, because they are the bearers of offspring. Therefore, in the women's arsenal, literally everything had protective signs, and not just jewelry: embroidery, household items, pendants and clothing items. Accordingly, combinations were allowed. For example, Slavic amulets for beauty and amulets for protecting the household. Or all Slavic girls embroidered talismans for procreation (the opportunity to have children and get married successfully). The photo shows only the main women's Slavic amulets with their meanings, but this is not the entire list for a girl.

Representatives of the fair half of humanity had more symbols not because they were weaker in strength or endurance. The thing is that much more responsibility falls on fragile shoulders: to save the family, raise children, ensure comfort at home and order in the household. But besides this, they must be beautiful and healthy. If a woman could not have children, then this was considered a punishment for misconduct.

It was very difficult to atone for such sins. To prevent the girl from making mistakes, she was given a large number of protective signs from birth. Greatest value had Slavic amulets, which mean the protection of Lada, the wife of Rod. The lucky girl and owner of the Star of Lada was protected by a talisman that gave her everything that a real woman should have. One might even say she became an ideal for the opposite sex. An image of Makosh and Rozhanitsa was always added to the Star. Both symbols also gave the girl the ability to run a household quickly and well. Usually, such housewives had the matter in their hands. So that all three signs carry more positive energy, and the charming woman becomes more and more like an ideal, symbols were embroidered on her from the moment of birth. Amulets and talismans had the greatest power if they were not passed down by inheritance, but were made specifically for one person.

For men

Slavic amulets for men were also given from the moment of birth. Despite his physical strength, every man requires protection, love and guardianship. Protect the boy from slander and problems, empower greater strength and health, to give confidence and develop mental abilities - these are the purposes for the amulets of the Russians. On the embroideries of Ancient Rus', as well as on the female gender, there were elements and symbols of the Family, Lada, and Perun. But if a man’s amulet carried clear information about the craft, then it is rare to find it on things or tools. After all, it meant that a person is a master of his craft and received the gift of becoming a blacksmith, hunter or warrior not only according to his heart, but also because the gods decided so.

Slavic men's amulets differed in appearance from women's amulets in form and meaning. Svarog's hammer was worn by warriors, and the Vseslavets amulet meant good luck in family life, peace and understanding. Having such a symbol, the husband became the guardian of the peace and well-being of the family. At the same time, the sign is compatible with all other generic, family talismans. On her husband's clothes, the wife embroidered any Slavic amulet for men, which carried protection not only from the spells of witchcraft, but also signs that brought good luck in battle, hunting and in the field. This is Svarga.

Amulets for home

Slavic amulets for the home served not only the function of guarding everyone living under one roof. They provided coziness and comfort, health and warded off misfortunes, disasters and poverty. What do you mean by family? Everyone has their own answer. Our ancestors argued that family means respect and honor for all members without exception, and not just for one. The woman was treated with special honor.

An excellent Slavic symbol of the family was the Roda tree, combining the three main forces of the universe. Images of Rod, Lada and Belobog (Slavic signs of prosperity, do not have negative energy) hung and painted the home. Ornaments and patterns can be found on antique household items, clothing, and pictures on the wall. After all, the word “family” means that the amulet will protect each family member even at a distance.

How to charge

All Slavic amulets or amulets, regardless of their meaning (they are protective or a talisman of health, beauty or wisdom) need to be cleansed and charged. Their duties include providing protection to a person from evil people and pagan spirits. What does it mean to charge or clear? This is in no way deleting the design or applying it again. Each amulet has its own patron and natural power. Even the strongest Slavic amulet needs to be recharged by the energy flows of the spirits of Fire or Air, Water or Earth. The image of nature is on all amulets. Therefore, before engaging in all the necessary procedures, thoroughly study the amulet, and only then proceed to cleaning and recharging.

The most powerful requires the strength of all four elements. What sign is this? Of course, the symbol of the Family is in the form of a tree, as well as the Star of Lada.

With your own hands

There is only one frequently asked question for all connoisseurs of Slavic culture: “Is it possible to create a talisman with your own hands?” The answer is simple: “It’s not only possible, but also necessary.” As a rule, this is done by a woman. After all, it was she who became the guardian of the family and all its members. A Slavic amulet for a man, child or family is embroidered on clothes, put on the arm in the form of weaving knots, and drawn on the walls of the house and utensils. When creating protective equipment female There are a number of rules to remember:

Slavic amulets are ready to tell us a lot of interesting things about how our ancestors perceived their existence. The Slavs worshiped the inexorable power and strength of nature, fearing the destructive influence of dark forces. To protect against the influence of entities from the dark side, special amulets were created that also protected against the evil eye, envy and malevolent energy messages of a magical nature.

The meaning of some Russian folk amulets has been lost over time, but most of them have come to us in the form in which our ancestors used them. This rich heritage of Slavic symbolism allows us not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to better understand our ancestors, finding a connection with them through the depths of centuries.

History of Slavic amulets and their meaning

The meaning of Slavic symbols cannot be reduced to one thing. Some of the signs combine others or personify the entire Slavic people and the knowledge they have accumulated. However, each of the ancient symbols has its own interpretation.

Some of the symbols are worn only by men, others are intended for women, and there are also universal ones. It is important to take into account not only this feature, but also the age of the person who will use them. For example, or other warlike gods should not be worn by children. And some women's talismans, such as Makosh, are not very suitable for young, inexperienced girls.

“Perun’s Arrival to Earth”, artist Vsevolod Ivanov. Our forefathers believed that one could receive the patronage of the god of thunder and thunder by using one of his symbols as a talisman.

The history of Slavic amulets is multifaceted and interesting; it is very closely intertwined with the culture of our ancestors. The pagan cult that flourished in those days led to the appearance of symbols dedicated to certain deities and even holidays. Solar talismans, most often worn as body jewelry, were considered the most popular.

Amulets were not always decorations - protective signs were also applied to household items and even to livestock.

What were amulets made of in Rus'?

One of the most frequently asked questions, associated with ancient Russian amulets, is the material for their manufacture.

Used to create:

• various metals (gold, silver, copper or bronze);
• wood;
• bones and teeth of animals or their horns;
• clay;
• threads (linen, cotton and even silk);

The choice of material is important, but not of paramount importance. Some people deceptively believe that Slavic amulets made of gold have greater magical potential than a similar item made from simple raw materials. It's a delusion. The correct selection of a talisman, its activation and faith in success will bring a much more fruitful result than an emphasis on demonstrating status.

When choosing the type of wood for making a talisman, the gender of the person for whom it was intended was taken into account.

In the old days there was not such an abundance of materials as there is now. The Slavs made objects with protective properties from what was at hand. This may be considered a disadvantage, but such limitations also brought some benefits.

The most common raw material was silver. Silver amulets are universal - this metal rarely causes rejection on a physical or energetic level. In addition, according to Slavic beliefs, silver scared away evil spirits. This is what contributed to the spread of protective objects made from this metal in ancient times.

We often came across talismans made of copper, but this metal is considered to be feminine. As for Slavic amulets made of wood, the choice of the type depended on who it was intended for. Like ancient symbols, the Slavs similarly divided all trees into female and male. The type of tree was chosen based on this.

The purpose of the amulet should also be taken into account. The material for the individual talisman was selected taking into account gender. And family ones could also be made from wood with a masculine character. Protective signs found in everyday life or on clothing were very often made from threads. The needle was not approved in this case - it could “pierce” the protective field. Sometimes a needlewoman could not do without such a tool, but she was not allowed to leave the needle in the embroidery during the process or when it was interrupted.

The craftswoman making the thread talisman must be in good health and good spirits. She must not be distracted from work so as not to interfere with her concentration, otherwise she will not be able to put her energy into the amulet, thereby charging it.

Amulets for men and women

Slavic amulets were rarely universal, which once again confirms the need to follow the main rule - to approach the choice of amulets seriously. Most often they were classified as male or female and were used only by a representative of a certain gender.

However, the meaning of amulets among the Slavs tended to change. The essence of the ancient sign did not change completely, but it could exhibit new properties. This mainly happened when women wore male signs. Some life situations may require representatives of the fairer sex to have masculine strength that is not typical for them. In this case, amulets helped to withstand the trials of fate and protect one’s family if there was no man nearby capable of fulfilling this mission.

But men practically did not use women's amulets. This is due to the fact that most of them are aimed at developing femininity, helping in family matters and motherhood. While men needed to gain strength, courage, determination and negotiation skills.

Traditionally masculine signs include:

• Shield of Perun;
• Hammer of Svarog;
• Doukhobor;
• Vseslavets.

Listed above are only the most common types of ancient Russian amulets for men. IN Slavic culture the man was the head of the family, the protector - it is precisely towards the successful performance of these functions that the action of most male symbols is aimed. In addition, such amulets can make a man physically stronger.

Women's Slavic amulets are aimed at preserving the family hearth. They help maintain youth and beauty, bear a baby, protect family members from evil people and dark forces.

Another traditional protector of the house is considered to be the Slavic symbol Alatyr. Applied to household items, this sign acted as a shield, protecting the house from negative energy, helping residents gain wisdom.

Various types of amulets among the Slavs

The amulets and amulets of ancient Rus' were used to achieve several purposes. The Slavs greatly revered their family. They tried in every possible way to help and protect other family members. This was expressed not only in actions, but also in the making of special protective items for sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, wives or husbands.

There was also another type of Slavic amulets - protective. Such objects were designed to protect against visible evil in the person of unfriendly neighbors and various entities that took the side of Chernobog - merman, mermaids, ghouls and other evil spirits.

A variety of materials were used to create such protective artifacts. There are also plenty of forms that they can take:

• body jewelry;
• knots on clothes and jewelry or as the latter (nauz);
• amulets dolls;
• tattoos;
• embroidery on interior items, clothing and hats;
• tableware painting;
• herbal collections hung in bunches in the home;
• depiction of ancient symbols on houses;

Below we will look at the main ones.

Another popular type of Slavic amulets – sciences. Slavic women were famous not only for their love of weaving braids, but also knots. This special magic required special skills. The knots had to be braided strictly in a certain order. These ancient Russian amulets symbolized different things. Some were for good luck, others for the evil eye, and others for attracting love.

Weaving nauzs is one of the techniques of Slavic magic. Our forefathers believed that woven knots could help in various aspects of life.

A doll is considered one of the classic Slavic home amulets that help protect the family and everyone living in it. Our ancestors believed that unclean spirits could inhabit the faces of dolls - that is why all rag dolls made as talismans and amulets do not have faces. They can be individual or general in nature.

Newborns and their mothers were given a Nurse doll. Children also received the Kuvadok doll amulet as their first toy. They made several of them, always an odd number, and then hooked them over the cradle. There was also a doll to protect against diseases - the Fever doll, as well as one that helped someone who was already sick to recover - . For married couples, a doll amulet was made to help protect personal happiness.

Lovebirds dolls are a family amulet.

Slavic tattoo amulets and their meaning

Quite little is known about Russian amulets worn directly on the skin. The only fact that remains certain is that a common motif played out in the tattoos of our forefathers was the scene of victory in the battle between the thunderer Perun and the Serpent.

Nowadays, almost everything that is in any way connected with the ancient Slavs is used - images of gods or all sorts of mythical creatures, battle scenes, solar symbols and even Slavic runes. The meaning of tattoos often even remains a mystery to its wearer, which should under no circumstances be allowed if you do not want to ruin your life by improperly interfering with fate.

Body jewelry

Slavic jewelry with protective signs were and remain the most in a convenient way wearing a talisman. Jewelry, unlike tattoos, can be removed or replaced without any problems if there is a need to interact with another symbol. It is also easy to clean and recharge. Especially if it is made of metal.

Most often, the Slavs made amulets in the form of a pendant. This method was considered equally suitable for men and women. The latter preferred a lighter material - wood, while men usually chose metal. Such an amulet was not easy to lose or spoil in battle.

Less common, but still in demand, were bracelets and rings. It was difficult to apply Slavic signs on small, elegant women's rings. They were only suitable for applying runic symbols. Therefore, rings were often worn by male representatives.

Runic symbols

Many Old Slavic amulets, in addition to sacred symbols, bore the image of runic symbols. It would be wrong to consider Slavic runes as a common alphabet, despite the fact that they were often used to write names Slavic gods. These signs carried a special meaning that can be interpreted both individually and together, combining runes into words or entire spells from words.

Almost every rune, like other Slavic symbols, had a double meaning - it depended on the position of the sign, upright or inverted.

A fairly common use of Slavic runic symbols was the application of signs on weapons as a talisman, as well as their similar use in embroidery.

Embroidery as a talisman

Previously, needlework was one of the few entertainments available to women. Based on this, the amulets of the Slavs were embodied in embroidery. In those days, people wore clothes made of simple, natural fabrics, so decorating with embroidery was easier to do than with modern materials.

Embroidery on Slavic clothing was not purely decorative. Usually there was a secret meaning hidden in the patterns. This could be a wish for happiness and health, an appeal to the gods with a request for protection, or protective spells against everything evil. Some household items were also decorated with special embroidery - pillows and blankets, towels and small decorative pillows, and even entire paintings, which were then framed and hung on the wall.

Slavic amulets in the form of embroidery are still popular in our time, giving the outfits of modern fashionistas a special charm.

How to choose and wear an ancient Slavic amulet

The pagan amulets of the ancient Slavs require attention in everything. It was important not only to manufacture and select them correctly, but also to charge them. In choosing symbols, our ancestors relied on several factors. They took into account the time of a person’s birth - that is, they selected the amulet according to the patron god.

Not everyone knows that the Slavs also had a special Slavic calendar– Carols are a gift and even your own zodiac – Svarog’s circle. It contains 16 halls-signs. The principle of such a zodiac is the same as that of the one we are accustomed to; there is even an opinion that it was borrowed from the ancient Slavs, and the number of constellations was reduced to twelve.

The status and age of the person who requires the support of higher powers was also important. After all, some of the Slavic symbols are universal and can be used by everyone, while others were intended for a specific gender. All this has already been said above.

The primary, decisive factor when choosing a talisman is spiritual kinship with it. Many people wonder whether it is possible to wear a symbol that they like without studying its features. No, you shouldn't do this. Ancient signs are imbued with the energy of many generations and have a powerful influence on human life. Without understanding, this action may not be the desired one.

It happens that a certain sign exudes a certain magnetism and seems to be asking to be picked up. Even so, it is a good idea to study the meaning of the symbol and reflect on how its use will affect your life.

To understand which Slavic symbol to wear, determine what you are missing and choose a suitable amulet that can attract it. Or think about what or who can harm you, in which case choose a suitable protective amulet.

You should also take care to activate the amulet. Traditionally, one of the four natural elements is used for these purposes. Sometimes it is possible to combine them, and in some cases it is impossible to do without it. More information about this procedure can be found on our website from articles about a specific amulet.

By choosing the right Slavic amulet, you will attract harmony and good luck into your life, you will become healthier and happier, and you will be able to move to a new stage of spiritual development.
